[manufactured]

Given that one of them seems to be a submachine gun and the other is an assault rifle, I would say so.

[...YEAH...]

[scythegun]

Oh dear. I can see why you'd be a bit appalled to receive such gifts...

[manufactured]

They're currently upstairs; I have no intention of using them.

The assault rifle was apparently issued by that unit I was in charge of before. S.T.A.R.S. Given that it was apparently a special tactics unit, I can't say that I'm surprised, but apparently they rather liked us armed.

[scythegun]

That makes sense, ja. Still, it's interesting that Retrospec would give you two at a time. Perhaps they're feeling charitable...?

[manufactured]

...I'm not certain I want to know what they think would warrant something like that.

[JUST...SAYING...

That said, though, he pauses once that's out there; just...thinking for a moment.]

Do you think they have complete control over what we receive and what we don't? For curiosity's sake.

[scythegun]

...You know, I assumed they did, but it wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that they don't.

[manufactured]

Likewise.

[It's something he's discussed with others, a few times; given what he's recalled about things like Uroboros, he sort of hopes they do.]

...Either way, I suppose it hardly matters. At least I'll be prepared if something catastrophic does happen.

[scythegun]

Here's hoping nothing will! I'm rather fond of things as they are now.

[Not that he'd complain about fighting monsters again as long as they're relatively easy to take out, but things have been good lately.]

[manufactured]

That's good to know.

[Things have been nice...]

I've been enjoying it, really.

[scythegun]

So have I! But of course, it's mostly because I get to spend so much time with you~

[manufactured]

...You're flattering me.

[Why.]

[scythegun]

Maybe a bit, but I mean every word!

[manufactured]

If you say so.

[He sort of wants to die a little when you do this? Just...words, it is not a good moment for words.]

[scythegun]

[You're so cute when you get like this, though...!!]

And of course I do! You're very important to me, Albert~

[manufactured]

[oh my god it isn't cute it's stupid - ]

...So you keep telling me.

[scythegun]

[it's cuuuuuuuuuute!!]

Of course! And I doubt anything could stop me from saying it!

[manufactured]

Good.

[That's out there before he can really think about it; just...mnngh.]

I like hearing it, from time to time.

[scythegun]

[Oh no, you're so adorable...]

I'm glad you do! I like saying it and it's important to me that you know, so this works out well~

[manufactured]

[As much as he likes hearing it, he really isn't certain what to do with it today; some days are better than others on the speaking front, and this is not one of those days.

...If he reaches out to pet your hair, will you be quiet and stop overstimulating him for a little while...]

[scythegun]

[Today isn't a words day, got it. That's alright though, he still looks very pleased and he immediately leans into that. It's nice, he really does enjoy the hair-playing.

And he'll actually shut up for once, since he's already planning on embarrassing you horribly for Christmas. Consider this your warning!!]

[manufactured]

[He knows Jaeger likes it; it's why he does it so often. That, and the fact that he's still not...great with physical contact otherwise. But this is nice, and it's easy, and at this point Wesker enjoys doing it.

So he's content to just do this in silence for a while; he's entirely aware that he's going to spend most of Christmas wanting to die, but for now this is fine and it seems to relax him the more he does it, so at least there's that much.]

[scythegun]

[That's good! It's nice to spend time like this; there isn't anywhere he'd rather be and there isn't anything else he'd rather be doing right now. Jaeger relaxes into Wesker's touch, letting his eyes drift shut. He still doesn't smile genuinely all that often, but now's a good time for it.

Eventually he'll break the silence though, if only because he's always been bad at being quiet.]

...I really do enjoy this, but you already knew that, ja?

[manufactured]

Of course.

[It's quiet, but it's just as easy as the gesture; this is good, okay.]

[scythegun]

I'm glad. You make me very happy, Albert.

[It doesn't have the usual teasing edge to it, but he means it, of course.]

[manufactured]

[...Oh. That's...]

It makes me happy that I can.
